Much Respect for Ray and for all of you sincerely
This is fabulous. Ray is a legend and has so much knowledge. I'm glad this got made!
It was such an honor to be asked to be a part of this documentary - it truly is an amazing bit of storytelling, and cinematography.
I am absolutely thrilled that this process, and my coach and friend Ray Rybar have been featured, preserved and shared in such a manner. Rob Bianchin - not only do you make some of the finest 1911's on the planet, your work to preserve the industrial arts deserves serious recognition. Thank you for doing what you do! To my new friends, Chris & Chris, Matt, Chrispy - what an honor it was to work with you, I feel truly blessed to know you and to have shared this amazing experience with you. Crispy - your film-making is award winning!!
Anyone interested in blacksmithing, metallurgy, blade-smithing, industrial arts, and the history of one of the most important process throughout human history - the making of steel - you need to check this out!
Why does this video not have 10 million views already
Incredible...thank you
Really amazimg
It's really something, guys! It was a pleasure to look it. With all respect from Russia.
So awesome 😎😎
Just in time before my ultimate bedside arrives!! Such a fascinating watch! Thank you for consistently giving us content about ideas and the amazing projects yall are working on. 💪
So very cool to see the entire process (or the condensed version of it) and to gain a better understanding of all that goes into making Damascus Steel. Thank you all for sharing this with us.
This is pattern forged steel, not "Damascus". Damascus is a crucible steel, meaning that is completely liquefied in a crucible. Damascus steel is also never quenched due to the way the steel patterns itself during forging. Pattern welded steel, as shown in this video is a combination of several different grades of steel and iron that have been stacked and folded to create a pattern reminiscent of Damascus steel.
Would love to own a 1911 made of Damascus!!!
Thank you for this video.
